FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

NC-2009 IEQc4.3:Low-Emitting Materials—Flooring Systems

Wall Tile

I am working on a project in Canada that came back with first review commenting on the VOC content of the tile used. We have two types of tile, both are porcelain, one a full body and the other glazed. I am now working through the documentation again and have questions. One is do I use the Option Two path when using tile as there is no option in the drop down menu for exempt products. The other is the glazed tile is actually a wall tile, not floor tile so is it not included in credit 4.3 and only the adhesives and sealants included in credit 4.?

Tristan - I don't see an FAQ above related to Diana's question about wall tile. What are your thoughts on that part of her post? I think it should read: "The other is the glazed tile is actually a wall tile, not floor tile so is it not included in credit 4.3 and only the adhesives and sealants included in credit 4.1?"
